Reading the scorecard

Rating is the live Google star average. Review volume shows how many customers have rated each builder, set against the others on the page. Confidence weighs the rating by that volume, so a 4.7 from hundreds of people carries more weight than a 5.0 from a few dozen. Recency reflects how recently reviews arrive.
